Thanks all. I turned off the main colds water left for an hour with immersion heaters on and, lo and behold, had my first piping hot shower in the new flat which was a nice feeling. This at least rules out the Cylinder and Immersions as the issue. There must be a fault in the installation and...

Thanks Terry. There is no water running through the Tundish. I will try this and let you know what happens. Best, Archie

Thank you. Okay very irritating of them! Clearly installation all over the shop and bad from the previous owner of the property to let it get to such a state. It was Gledhill response team so officially from them, but i doubt they installed it themselves. I willtry turning the valve inlet set...

Thanks so much for this, very helpful in understanding. Will try all the above and let you know how i get on. All the best, Archie

Hi John, Have done so and yes they are now cold. Okay thanks for this. The reason why i don't think there is leak is that one would expect the pipe taking the hot water from the immersion heater to heat up considerably however upon touching it after multiple hours of immersion heater usage it...

Thanks Gasguru, for getting back to me. See the inlet set attached. What i have noticed in taking that photo is that i wasrunning the immersion heater to check and have noticed that a couple of the pipes have some water on them. Not a lot a few drops each but that only started happening when i...

Hi Andy, Yes i can Archie

Here you are Andy Best. Archie

Hi John, yes i did and went up by 60 kWh. Have one of those smart meters in my living room, so can see the price climbing as well the kWh on the main meter Archie

Thanks for getting back to me John. A fortune was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration but it was 2 3k/w immersion heaters on for 10 hours. I was thinking it must be a leak but have inspected all the valves etc and nothing has shown itself. Similarly it must be within the vicinity of the cylinder...

THanks for getting back to me Andy. Gledhill have ruled out that it could be a problem with the cylinder. I have asked them to replace it but now they are dodging my phonecalls. Archie

Thanks for getting back to me. The timer is just for the bottom immersion heater. Just one should heat up the whole tank in 3/4 hours. The top one just have as a boost (or so it would seem). The problem is i don't think it can be the electrics as had someone come check the current running...

Thanks for both your replies guys appreciated. John - A fortune was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration but it was 2 3k/w immersion heaters on for 10 hours. I was thinking it must be a leak but have inspected all the valves etc and nothing has shown itself. Similarly it must be within the...

Hi Bernard, Thanks for your response. Yes these have been checked and they are both at maximum. Best, Archie

Hi there, I am at my wit’s end with this problem which seems to have stumped all the plumbers in my local area and would appreciate any advice. I bought a new place in November which had been installed with a new Gledhill ES 150 l stainless steel unvented cylinder in March of this year. On...
